Clinical study of two mandibular advancement devices in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
BMC Oral Health
December 2024
School/Hospital of Stomatology, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.
Objective: A preliminary clinical evaluation of the efficacy, comfort, and adverse reactions of two mandibular advancement devices (MADs) in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Methods: Forty patients with mild-to-severe OSA were recruited and randomly divided into two groups. They were treated with Shark-fin or Silensor MAD, respectively.
Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Dimensions of The Maxillary Dental Arch and Hard Palate in Children With Class II and Large Overjet-A Case-Control Study.
J Oral Rehabil
December 2024
Section of Orthodontics and Dental Sleep Clinic, Department of Odontology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on comparing maxillary dental arch and hard palate dimensions in children with Class II occlusion, characterized by a large overjet, versus a control group with neutral occlusion to evaluate possible links to sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
- - Results showed that children in the Class II group had significantly smaller maxillary arch dimensions compared to controls, but there were no significant differences in hard palate dimensions or SDB incidents between the groups, though the snore index was slightly higher in the Class II group.
- - The findings suggest that while reduced maxillary dimensions correlate with Class II occlusion, they do not have a direct connection to SDB, indicating that intraoral scans could be beneficial for early risk assessment of
Investigation of the Etiology of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization in Children Residing in Konya Province and Surrounding Areas, Türkiye.
Children (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Selçuk University, 42250 Konya, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a dental condition influenced by genetic and environmental factors, prompting a study to create a better diagnostic index and explore potential causal links.
- The study involved 208 children aged 8-11, with 104 diagnosed with MIH and 104 in a control group, including surveys completed by their parents to gather data.
- Results indicated a significant relationship between various medical conditions in early childhood, like asthma and infections, and the occurrence of MIH, highlighting the need for pediatricians to aid in early detection and referral for dental care.
Aerodynamic Threshold Measures for Reflecting Glottal Closure in Voice Disorders.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
January 2025
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Second Affiliated Hospital, Xiamen Medical College, China.
Purpose: Previous work suggested that phonation threshold pressure (PTP), phonation threshold flow (PTF), and phonation threshold power (PTW) could be effective aerodynamic measures for quantifying glottal incompetence. This study examined how these measures could reflect varying extent of incomplete glottal closure in individuals with voice disorders.
Method: Thirty individuals formally diagnosed with glottal incompetence, including 10 with hypofunctional disorders (hypo group) and 20 with hyperfunctional disorders (hyper group), and 30 individuals with normal voice (control group) participated in the study.

Naso- and oropharyngeal swabs are the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) -recommended disease sampling methods for respiratory viruses. The short swabbing time for sampling by these methods may lead to variability in test results. Further, these methods are mildly invasive and can cause discomfort, tearing or gag reflexes in tested individuals.
